ADVANCE PRAISE FOR THE EVIL THAT MEN DO

“As always, Gleason stays ahead of the pack, firing on all cylinders, with a take-no-prisoners attitude. This one isn’t inspired by the headlines, IT IS THE HEADLINES.”

—Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author of The Lost Order

“Gleason goes straight for the jugular. Lurking behind the characters’ thinly veiled pseudonyms are the thugs, celebrities, and superstars who dominate today’s headlines: Trump, Putin, Jim Comey, and Bill Maher are all there in effigy, primed and skewered, waiting to be burned. Unfortunately for Gleason, I doubt this bunch will take his assault lying down. His targets will want him drawn and quartered after reading this book … except perhaps Bill Maher, whose literary avatar finds himself kidnapped, tortured, then lewdly and lasciviously seduced by two gorgeous female Islamic terrorists. And then there’s Jules Meredith, the intrepid reporter who exposes Trump—I mean, J. T. Tower—and his band of billionare black-money political donors, including Vladimir Putin … or rather, Mikhail Putilov. Could Jules’s book, Filthy Lucre, have been inspired by Jane Mayer’s Dark Money? Those with no upside include Trump, Putin, and Comey: they will be furious, and likely won’t rest until they’re stretching Gleason’s hide on a high rack and seeing his deeply troubled soul in hell.”

—Ward Larsen, USA Today bestselling author of Cutting Edge and winner of six major literary awards

“Bombs away! Look out below! Pull up your bootstraps! And run for cover! Bob Gleason offends … everyone. He might even offend you too, but he’ll entertain the hell out of you at the same time, because this book is a rare thing: A blood-curdling thriller, too, written with a kind of headlong verbal velocity that makes it impossible to put down. Read it. Tonight. But remember, ANY resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.”

—William Martin, New York Times bestselling author of The Lincoln Letter

“As bold a book as you’ll find this year, combines a thrilling, right-in-the-moment epic with a profound grasp of global issues. Gleason writes with tremendous energy and flair, and the velocity of the plot combined with devilish characterizations and insider savvy, competes easily with the most vivid headlines of our time. A lion’s roar of a book that recalls the great adventure novels of the past—while remaining powerfully contemporary. Well done!”

—Ralph Peters, three-time winner of the W. Y. Boyd Literary Award and New York Times bestselling author of Judgment at Appomattox
